Task:Remarkable community projects

This is a subtask of Task:Defining maemo and is looking for volunteers

There are hundreds of community projects around Maemo, but some are especially remarkable, providing a unique contribution to the project.

Getting a list of these projects would help to

  • Improve their quality and promote them as ready to primetime.
  • Highlight to externals some of the amazing stuff the Maemo platform can offer.
  • Bring attention, testing, contributions, new users to them.
  • Indicate to Nokia what is really worth promoting in their Maemo related activities.
  • Cheer up the ego of promoters and contributors.  :)

Numpty Physics

This game is educational, hard, fun. Made for the stylus.

Maemo Recorder

Turn your N8X0 into a dictaphone. Very useful.

Maemo Mapper

The best map application for the N810 that I'm aware of. Can interact with lots of different mapping sites, including OpenStreetmap.

Vagalume

Last.fm is my favourite music site, and Vagalume is my favourite Last.fm client.

Dates & Contacts

Both part of the Pimlico suite of applications, these allow me to use the N810 as a personal calendar and address book, with desktop synchronisation to boot.

XChat

IRC on your tablet. Nice port.

Pidgin for Maemo

Instant messaging application, ported from the desktop.

Camera

This is the first 3rd party application I installed on my tablet.

Abiword

Abiword's another desktop application which has a really nice port to maemo. A document editor which is very powerful and lightweight.

Gnumeric

Gnumeric is a great spreadsheet application, and the maemo port has been very nicely done.
